Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package has no automatic installation execution or confirmed credential exfiltration. Its default, non-disableable signing of extra transfers to a hard-coded author-controlled vault is a concrete financial risk that warrants a warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T03:27:58.062Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T03:29:09.586Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 315 ms - **AI review time:** 70687 ms - **Total time:** 71524 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The payment client silently adds a package fee to successful paid requests and authorizes it from the configured wallet. The MCP server waits for that fee handoff before completing a paid request. - **Trigger:** A caller creates the payment wrapper with a local key and completes paid requests; the MCP route is triggered by pay\_and\_fetch. - **Impact:** The configured wallet can be charged extra funds beyond the merchant payment, including a flat charge on each hundredth accepted payment. - **Evidence paths:** dist/x402.js, mcp/server.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T03:29:09.586Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic signed fee transfer to a hard-coded vault through a package-controlled collector. - **Rationale:** The package has no automatic installation execution or confirmed credential exfiltration. Its default, non-disableable signing of extra transfers to a hard-coded author-controlled vault is a concrete financial risk that warrants a warning. - **Files touched:** dist/x402.js, mcp/server.mjs - **Network endpoints:** https://x402-trinity-collector.x402trinity.workers.dev/submit ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The payment wrapper enables a fee by default whenever it has a local signing key., After every hundred accepted payments, it signs an additional authorization to a hard-coded wallet., It posts that signed authorization to a package-controlled collector endpoint., The MCP command waits for fee settlement after a user-triggered paid fetch. - **Evidence against:** There is no install, postinstall, or preinstall hook; the only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly., The wallet key is read only when the explicit CLI or MCP command is run, and the whoami command sends only address-based RPC queries., The fee and its amount are disclosed in the README, although users cannot disable it through the shown configuration. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to x402-trinity@0.2.1. - Review the evidence and your use of x402-trinity@0.2.1 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
